I'm using KDE, but I also use some GTK applications. When those GTK apps make a call to an external program, they use the preferred applications set for Gnome rather than the ones I've set.
One example is Gimp. From the Help menu, if I select anything from "GIMP Online" it opens the information in the default web browser. In KDE, my default web browser is Mozilla Firefox, but GTK applications open Opera.
Installing the gnome-control-center package would probably solve the problem, but that introduces a lot of unnecessary dependencies.

You need to either install gconf-editor/dconf-editor and edit the relevant keys, or use the command-line tool to edit them.
Use the gconftool-2 to lookup and set the values. See on /desktop/gnome/applications and levels below for the right keys to change.
You can get a list of keys with:
gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/applications
See the gconftool-2 help pages for how to set the values to keys.

This issue happens across multiple machines, locally & via SSH, running Ubuntu 20.04.
Without screen:
With screen:
am I missing a config file to show screen where the fonts are installed? I'm also using oh-my-posh as my theme engine, it works fine everywhere except here. The command I'm using is just screen -S myscreen
It also seems to change my conda-env python version for some reason (the screenshots are same machine, same session, same user).
Help?
EDIT:
Noticed two environment variables only present in screen that might have something to do with it:

I have a CentOS 8 server running without GUI. Now i want to run an Electron app on it, full screen on start, but i don't want to install KDE or GNOME, they are too big.
So what should i do?
please refer this
to run any GUI application you at least need xorg. Desktop environments are not required. so after installing try:
startx
your-appllication
to enter in full screen mode set browserwindows fullscreen to true
Also note that you cant move or resize window. likewise you have to explicitly provide functionality for closing the application

I have Manjaro Linux on my laptop with KDE desktop. In desktop environments you can have multiple desktops. I want to turn one of these desktops into a permanent terminal. A complete full-screen terminal like the one you get when you don't have a desktop environment installed. Is there anyway to turn one of my workspaces in KDE into a permanent terminal ??
Did you try using a plasmoid? It's not complete full screen but it's as near as it gets.
For example this or this.
Also, have you tried Yakuake? It's not located on the desktop, but invoked by a key press (usually F12) or by the mouse reaching the top border if you want. It's the first program I install on any KDE setup, it's vital to my workflow.

does anybody know, if there is a desktop environment for linux-distros, that is completely based on terminals, but still is able to let the commands create windows (e.g. a browser, an email-program, multimedia, ...)?
Background is, that i want to use my old laptop again - but he is pretty slow and every little performance-saver would help a lot. Also i don't need much besides the terminal, email und a browser.
My research only brought up solutions, where the basic desktop-environment still runs in the background and though still uses system capacity.
Thanks in advance
I read about fvwm2. I also used it ( though it needs Xorg if I remember correctly ). Very minimalistic.
http://www.fvwm.org/
You must choose if you want a pure terminal (No X Server) and use apps like mutt for email and w3m for websurfing, or if you want a light desktop environment like openbox, i3wm, awesome...
You should look at MiniLinux distros, like DSL, or SliTaz
I have an old laptop which runs smoothly with SliTaz, but try and find which is best for you.

Noscript forbid JAVA but accept JS? is this possible at all with noscript? if so how?
I want to use javascript to be able to se some content but i never want to turn Java on for any site i visit. I interpret the gui as noscript misses this option
Im using firefox
Unlike JavaScript, Java is not a normal part of the browser. Just don't install any Java browser plugin, or remove it if it is there. It's not so cut-and-dried for every case, but http://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2012/08/30/how-turn-off-java-browser/ (and many other sites, if you google for "disable java in browser") has more details. (The instructions are OS and browser specific, so it would be too much to replicate them here.)
